Steven Hinkle attempted to post a flier on a public bulletin board at California Polytechnic's multi-culture center. Some other students nearby, eating pizza, were offended that Hinkle would post something there. The end result was the Hinkle didn't put up his flier and was _charged with being 'disruptive'_. The best summation is
Student Steve Hinkle's crimes, explicitly detailed at the hearing he was forced to endure, were (a) being white, (b) blond, (c) blue-eyed, and (d) publicizing an appearance by a _conservative_ black author, Mason Weaver.
The other money quote is
Authorities at Cal Poly say it was not the content of Hinkle's flier, but rather his very presence that was "disruptive."
Apparently not all ethnicities are welcome in a multi-cultural center.

But by any standard of measurement, they're simply wrong. George W. Bush's GOP is the party of the little guy.
A new study by the Center for Responsive Politics found that in the last election cycle, people who gave less than $200 to politicians or parties gave 64 percent of their money to Republicans. Just 35 percent went to Democrats. On the other hand, the Center found that people who gave $1 million or more gave 92 percent to Democrats - and a whopping eight percent to Republicans.
